“I believe that everything happens,” she said. “Period. Or full stop, as you would say. That’s it. Things happen and we have to learn to live with them, as long as suicide is off the table, that is.

Happens is the only word in that statement that’s empirical. The rest is whatever helps you sleep at night.”
